Hi Mr. Riordan,
This article is vaguely interesting. The author notes that if Phil Spector's trial was a tragedy then it was a farce from the beginning which it was. It's really revolting for the LA Times to cover for the prosecutors. They were so humiliated at their celebrity losses that Phil Spector's tragedy was too good to be true. I'm getting Google alerts. Leonard Cohen benefits from these stories. He's mentioned in nearly every story. Here, while he testified that he can't recall if Phil Spector was drunk, they were drunk. They didn't work together for a year. It was hardly three weeks. In any event, the journalists cannot be bothered to figure out that Leonard Cohen now has three versions of his highly embellished gun stories about Phil Spector before LA Superior. Well, let me qualify that - one is being concealed from the City Attorney's office although I'm sitting here with the email.
Phil Spector was not one of America's biggest gun nuts. And that argument does not diminish or undermine the forensic science that proves Clarkson - high on vicodin and alcohol - shot herself at Phil Spector's house. Gun related suicides are rampant. In fact, a young man just shot himself in the head in his school's bathroom. So, while a gun debate is extremely critical right now - so ois a dialogue on gun related suicides and drug abuse.
Love,
Kelley
The HBO movie also fails to answer the biggest question that Spector's story seems to ask at this point in American life, a week after a ban on assault weapons failed: Why does this guy own so many weapons? Spector was, of course, one of America's biggest gun nuts. My favorite show business anecdote of all time is about Don Rickles and Frank Sinatra, available at the end of this Johnny Carson bit, but my second favorite is about Phil Spector and Leonard Cohen. In the 1970s, Cohen's manager suggested he make a record with Spector, who was then living completely surrounded by guns in his fenced compound. They were drunk for nearly a year while making Cohen's worst album, Death of a Ladies Man. One evening Spector held a .45 to Cohen's neck and said, "Leonard, I love you." Cohen slowly answered, "I sure hope you do, Phil."
The opportunity for comedy and the opportunity to talk about the aesthetics of guns are only two
